place to sleep for your offspring
yourself

Baby travel cots: You should pay attention to this when buying
Weight and dimensions of the bed
: If you are going to travel by plane or train, it is particularly important that the baby travel cot is light and does not take up too much space.
The easier it is to transport the bed.
Collapsibility
: A classic cot is often bulky.
With a travel cot, you should make sure that you can fold it up.
The weight of your child
: Most baby travel cots are approved up to a weight of 15 kilograms.
So you should consider your child's weight.
With or without a hook
: Many baby beds have a second level that can be hooked in if required.
This can be used, for example, to swaddle the child.
So the child is closer and the parents don't have to bend down so much.
However, the second level is not very resilient and therefore only suitable for the smallest children.
With or without a loophole
: A cot with a loophole has an opening on the head or foot side (or on both sides) that can be closed with a zipper.
This loophole allows your baby to crawl in and out.
The surface / the mattress
: When buying a baby travel cot, you should pay attention to the surface of the sleeping area.
Is it adequately padded?
Is there a matching mattress?
In cheap travel cots, the sleeping area often only consists of a pressboard covered with thin fabric.
In this case, you should definitely buy a mattress as well.
